Psy admits Jho Low ‘my friend’ amid K-pop scandal
“When Jho Low and his party visited Korea as part of their Asia tour, Yang Hyun Suk and I were invited to attend [the dinner]. After eating and drinking with others who had been invited, Yang Hyun Suk and I left first.
“At that time, I thought of [the dinner] as a meeting with a friend who came from a faraway country,” Psy said.Psy achieved worldwide fame when his music video forexceeded one billion views on YouTube, becoming the first video to do so in the website’s history on December 21, 2012. South Korean media reports alleging Low to be one of the two South-east Asian investors who met Yang, the chief executive of YG Entertainment Inc, through his friendship with pop star Psy, put a Malaysian connection to the scandal.
Various news reports alleged that Low and Thai businessman Chavanos Rattakul met Yang and other high-ranking figures from YG Entertainment, one of the South Korea’s “Big Three” entertainment giants, at an upscale restaurant in July 2014. The duo had afterwards allegedly left for a club said to be owned by Yang, where they were reportedly offered sexual services then in the latest development to South Korea’s biggest sexual abuse and trafficking scandal.Low through an emailed statement by his spokesman has also admitted knowing Psy but denied a report naming him among those who have allegedly been offered sexual services by Yang.
